Lyrics

[00:04.26]
[00:09.83] I might be a part of this
[00:13.05] Ripple on water from a lonesome drip
[00:14.96] A fallen tree that witness me
[00:17.53] I'm alone, him and me
[00:22.46]
[00:23.75] And then life itself could not aspire
[00:26.17] To have someone be so admired
[00:28.42] I threw creation to my kin
[00:30.48] With the silence broken by a whispered wind
[00:35.09]
[00:37.46] All of this can be broken
[00:39.57] All of this can be broken
[00:41.71] Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground
[00:45.96]
[00:57.10] But the love of your life lives but lies no more
[01:00.10] And where she lay a flower grows
[01:05.73] And the arms that fed and the babes that wed
[01:07.80] And the backs that bled keeping her in tow
[01:11.53]
[01:14.17] Many miles and many trains
[01:16.39] Brought you to me on this sunny isle
[01:18.94] And what of which you wish to speak
[01:20.82] Have you come here to rescue me?
[01:24.76]
[01:31.55] And root to root and tip to tip
[01:33.67] I look at him my country gyp
[01:35.99] Leathered up by all his fears
[01:38.25] But someone brought you close to tears
[01:41.89]
[01:44.75] All of this can be broken
[01:46.78] All of this can be broken
[01:48.75] Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground
[01:54.57]
[02:02.02] But the love of your life lives but lies no more
[02:07.00] And where she lay a flower grows
[02:12.19] The arms that fed and the babes that wed
[02:14.91] And the backs that bled keeping her in tow
[02:18.23]
[02:21.76] But I am your keeper
[02:29.62] And I hold your face away from light
[02:39.86] I am yours till they come
[02:46.74] I am yours till they come
